about

Huginn and Muninn has a real mix of Folk and Black Metal melodies. It’s got a good pace and a rawness, yet the choruses bring it back to the Folk side. The lyrics are mostly written in Kenning and are about Odin’s Raven’s–about what they are, what they represent and why that matters. When I first heard the melodies, it made me think of flying over the world and looking down and seeing how everything was made small and how to the one looking down, everyone below would suddenly look like one folk, one people and that in order to be recognized in the mass’s, one’s deeds must indeed be great and worthy and like a beacon in the dark. There’s also a theme of what it would be like to lose one of the integral components of yourself that seeks out new experiences and knowledge and wisdom.

lyrics

Huginn and Muninn

Flying high in Ymir's skull, upon the breaker of trees, two specks of darkness alive
Each morning sent forth by the Lord of Gallows, in search for the day’s feeder of ravens

The big picture revealed, who has mind worth shown, the eye sees all, drawn to this day’s spear din, those who are flame-farewelled not missed, all that happens is known, the weather of weapons is clearer when on high, into the wound sea it’s revealed, all us people one tribe, a vast forest like moss, great mountains like rolling hills, the truth revealed, the mind made flesh, when ravens return, thoughts and will to mind manifest

Fear much for thought that it may not return
Yet fear more for mind that it may leave in time
Fear much for thought that it may not return
Yet fear more for mind that it may leave in time

So much to learn, yet ever more to know
Holding a bloodworm before you does not make battle sweat flow
Every more need to reap, yet must never forget to sow
Those warmed by the bane of wood must also learn to a forest grew

Fear much for thought that it may not return
Yet fear more for the mind that it may leave in time
Fear much for thought that it may not return
Yet fear more for the mind that it may leave in time

Huginn and Muninn

Flying high in Ymir's skull, upon the breaker of trees, two specks of darkness alive
Each morning sent forth by the Lord of Gallows, in search for the day’s feeder of ravens

The big picture revealed, who has mind worth shown, the eye sees all, drawn to this day’s spear din, those who are flame-farewelled not missed, all that happens is known, the weather of weapons is clearer when on high, into the wound sea it’s revealed, all us people one tribe, a vast forest like moss, great mountains like rolling hills, the truth revealed, the mind made flesh, when ravens return, thoughts and mind to will manifest
